Project description
This course will give an overview about creating concepts within the media technology called “arduino”. The project outcome is a media concept and also a particular realization, which are based on IPO (Input, Processing, Output). The course is held in cooperation with the Egyptian start up company “argineering”.
Objectives & Structure
The course is divided into lectures (theoretical concept part) and practical (tutorials, examples and coding for arduino / argeneering). The theoretical part trains the students to find an useful application (potential) or problem (and solution) in order to create a solid media design concept. The practical part will train the students to realize their concepts into an actual realized project, which will be a concept presentation and prototype in the end of semester.
Project aims
In this course students learn how to generate interactive media concepts. In the lectures as well as in the practicals they will comprehend examples of arduino environments, games and other, abstract examples of Interaction Design and other IPO-media in order to create and improve useful projects and their presentations.
